Where do I start?
...Heat and Holley hired contractors to redo the kitchen and the bathroom of mom's home, Have pro exterminators to make sure the place was bug-free, after the mess we had been through...
Then the real fun began, as we watched the home improvement money literally melt before Our eyes...Holley and Heat stepped in after the contractors did a fantastic job on two rooms in the house.
So...between losing another good helper at Our house for Holley's Son, Lee...
We tried to get Holley to grow two more hands...but even in Uplifterland...You can only go as far as your sane mind will let you go....
Our days were both full and empty at the same time.
We were stuck in a dead town that I once would have put up against any place in the world.
Jiffy and T-REX, for goodness sake decided in finality that Willie Boy was just that...A BOY in A BOY's body.
So...We, as hard as it was, let her and T-REX go back to the east first, and get their dreams started before they were ended by the evil KAROLYN, otherwise known as the almost semi-other-grand person..even though she didn't realize that you have to be some what human to handle the precious cargo of Our sweet T-REX....
And know as I look at the broken piece of glass and smiling like PSYCHO, I shake myself and head yelling to the top of my voice...UPLIFTERAND...TAKE ME AWAY.....
ONE OF THE BANK'S MAIN DUDES CAME BY MOM'S HOME AND SAW THE HARD WORK THAT HOLLEY AND HEATH WERE DOING, AND WHAT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE BY THE CONTRACTORS AND THEY GAVE US AN EXTRA 10 GRAND -- NO INTEREST -- AND ALL WE HAD TO DO IS PUT A SMALL SIGN (ABOUT 400 FEET BY 500 FEET) WITH FLASHING LIGHTS IN THE FRONT YARD WHILE WE WORK WITH THEIR AD ON IT AND WE WOULD ONLY HAVE TO PAY 1 THOUSAND BACK.
THIS SEEMED TO SHIFT THE H & H CONTRACTORS (YOU KNOW WHO!) DO THINGS THREE TIMES FASTER THAN THEY EVER THOUGHT THEY COULD.
IT WAS AMAZING, BUT EACH DAY THAT THEY SPENT AN HOUR OVER MOM'S, THEY WERE GETTING LIKE A FULL DAYS WORK DONE.
THE MONTH WAS SEPTEMBER, AND RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH, I TURNED 25 YEARS OLD....SOMEHOW I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE NUMBERS AROUND AND I JUMPED RIGHT IN AND HELP THEM AND THE HOUSE WAS COMPLETELY FINISHED IN LESS THAN A WEEK...
AND AS I TOOK A DEEP BREATH, I WOKE UP......FOUND MYSELF STRUGGLING TO GET UP FROM OUR LOVE SEAT, WHICH HAD BEEN BROKEN ON MY SIDE NOW FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS.
H & H WERE OVER THE OTHER JOINT WORKING AWAY AND MY LEGS WERE BOTH ASLEEP AND I ENDED UP FALLING IN THE FLOOR WHEN THE PHONE RANG...
IT WAS HOLLEY ON THE PHONE AND SHE SAID THAT ALL WE HAD TO DO NOW WAS WAIT FOR THE RIGHT BUYER TO COME ALONG, GET THE MONEY, AND FIND A NEW HOME, MAYBE EVEN IN VERMONT-HER RELATIVES HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR A HOUSE FOR US TO RENT IN CASE THE HOUSE SELLS QUICKLY, SO....HERE WE SIT, WELL, HOLLEY AND HEAT AND MOM AND LEE AND THE TWO DOGS AND CATS SIT....I AM HERE LYING IN THE FLOOR, FLOUNCING AROUND LIKE A CARP IN ONE OF OUR LOCAL DITCHES JUST PRICKED WITH A FISH HOOK.
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A SPRING POPS OUT OF THE LOVE SEAT AND BOUNCES ME TO MY FEET....
I BRUSH MYSELF OFF AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SCARE MYSELF UNTIL I REALIZE THAT I CAN PRETEND SINCE MY 25 IS NOW 52 AND MY BRAIN DOESN'T WORK THAT WELL ANYWAY...
YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH THAT STUFF AS YOU GET OLDER......AS LONG AS I CAN GO TO UPLIFTERLAND ONCE IN AWHILE...I KNOW THINGS WILL BE OK AND EVEN BETTER WHEN WE GET CLOSER TO THE MOUNTAINS...
